For couples · Coming soon
Congratulations — you're engaged
Before anything else: enjoy this part. There's no rule that planning has to start now. My fiancé and I spent the first couple of months just being engaged and doing nothing about it, and none of it cost us later — it's genuinely one of the better decisions we made.
Whenever you are ready to start — next weekend, or next spring — Be Your Planner is one shared plan for the whole thing: guests, budget, vendors, seating, your whole checklist, in a place you and whoever's helping can both open.
Start where you are
Wherever you are right now
People find this site the day after the proposal and three months before the wedding. Find yourself below — the right next thing is different for each.
Just engaged
Nothing is booked and nothing is late. The first two decisions are your date and your venue, because nearly everything else hangs off them — guest count, budget, which vendors are even free. Everything you're being told to worry about right now comes after those two.
Read the 12-month timelineIn the middle of booking
You're collecting quotes and trying to compare things that were never written to be compared. This is the exact spot where all of this began — three venue quotes, three completely different formats, and no way to line them up. Before you sign anything, know what you're actually being asked to agree to.
Read the venue questionsMost of it booked
The decisions are made and now it's logistics: who has replied, who eats what, who sits where, and who needs to be standing where at 4pm. This is the stretch where things get missed, because it stops being a handful of big choices and becomes hundreds of small ones that all connect.
Get the budget under controlFeel in control, not behind
Every task has a deadline, every deadline lives in one place, and you can see what's actually next instead of guessing what you might be forgetting.
Everything in one place
Guests, budget, vendors, seating, gifts, timelines — one plan instead of a spreadsheet graveyard across your laptop, your phone, and a notebook.
Share it with your people
Bring in your partner, your family, your wedding party, or your planner, and give each of them exactly the access they need — no more re-explaining where things stand.
You're further along than it feels
Count what's already settled rather than what's left. A rough guest number, a season, a budget you've said out loud to each other, a venue you've ruled out — those are decisions, and they don't have to be made twice. Almost everything still ahead of you has an order to it: the photographer before the timeline, the guest count before the seating. What's usually missing isn't effort. It's one place that keeps the order straight so you don't have to hold it.
Less re-typing, more deciding
When an invoice or a vendor estimate lands in your inbox, the last thing you want is to copy every number into a spreadsheet by hand. We're building a way to upload it and have the amounts, due dates, and line items pulled out for you to review — and when you're weighing two venues' quotes, to see the trade-offs laid out side by side instead of toggling between two PDFs. Like everything else on this page, it's not available yet — it's on the list of what "coming soon" means for Be Your Planner.
